After a 3 year hiatus, the space epic returns and the world is at peace. Like Monstress is the high fantasy graphic novel of your dreams, Saga brings the “out of this world” to science fiction.
We find our space travelers recovering/surviving/living after the heartbreaking events of vol 9. We meet new characters and revisit some old ones. It’s great to see characters grow and play. Still told from the adult daughter’s point of view, the narrator knows way more than she’s letting on. That sense of foreboding adds to the visuals and reminds the reader that every good and bad thing has an ending and this too will pass. Vaughan puts his characters through hell.
While Vaughan does great work with the story and characters, Fiona Staples’ art adds so much. Her choices are incredible and she takes Vaughan’s words and makes them soar. I was worried if my rating would be higher b/c it’s been so long since it’s been out, but no. This volume is really good.
